The peppers will overwinter if you keep them from freezing. They are perennials. You could make a greenhouse within a greenhouse with a sort of cold frame if freezing is a possibility. Wrap those tomatoes in newspaper and they will ripen faster - they release ethylene gas as they ripen which accelerates the ripening process.

I'd have left those tomatoes and peppers a while longer. And you can still sow spinach and winter varieties of lettuce, these are tolerant of cold, and it actually makes the spinach leaves sweeter. Try sowing broad beans to grow over the winter for cropping late spring/early summer. Winter onion sets can go in now too, and where's your garlic going? Garlic needs a cold spell to make the clove split and form a bulb next year. Experiment lots. Even if you don't have a warmed greenhouse, fleece rowcovers can extend your season even more.

Pretty compost .. equals positive speaking. This is always something we prefer to hear rather than complaints. (You two never complain- at least not on camera- and I appreciate it.)

Next year you will need to rotate and plant your tomatoes in a different spot in the green house. Just a thought :)

Try a green tomato relish, sometimes called chow chow...it’s delicious and a great use of a harvest of green tomatoes.

I like the music with no singing in it. Then it does not get old to hear it over and over and over again . Have a Safe Day

Wrap individual green tomatoes in newspaper: Layer tomatoes that are individually wrapped in newspaper in a box no more than two layers deep. Place the box in a dark, dry spot. It usually takes three to four weeks for the tomatoes to ripen. Check them frequently, and remove any fruits that show signs of rotting.

You could move compost pile into greenhouse for free heat and use paint brush to fertilize flowers.

Don't forget that the adult Tomato Worms burrowed into the soil under the plants as part of their life cycle and are waiting for Spring to emerge as the large moths that lay eggs and tilling the earth destroys 90% of them. During the dormant stage the fiends form a dark shell around themselves that protect them and are about the depth of a hand from the finger tip to the wrist so turning over the soil is imperative otherwise the infestation will be far worse. You could build a chute that attaches to the bucket quite easily to get the compost inside in a single dump and it could be just a pair of wings with a bottom or even a simple piece of OSB plywood with to legs that fit inside the frames would do the trick even easier.

An attachment to the bucket wouldnt work as you would need to dismount and remount each time you load the bucket. A better idea would be a chute that sits on the 4 wheel trailer, held in place by the stake pockets, and a hinged flap that fits between the greenhouse posts. Then while one person fetches another load of compost another moves the trailer/chute to the next bay.

I wish you would share the temperature inside your greenhouse more often. Did you know pea, onion, and lettuce seeds will germinate as low as 35 F and grow fine in colder temperatures? Other cold weather food crops will germinate in soil as cold as 40 F, including beets, carrots, turnips, radishes, collards, kale, spinach, Swiss chard, arugula, broccoli, cauliflower, and kohlrabi. I didn't think it was colder than 40 F in your greenhouse. Have you considered getting some black barrels and filling them with water? They will warm up during the day and slowly release their heat at night. It's called a heat sink. Given how inexpensive seeds are, why not plant some test plots of different vegetables (not many) and see how they do this fall/winter?

I've seen people heat the water in the barrels through the day with a solar water heater. If you feed the heated water in from the top and take the cold water from the bottom of the barrel, it will thermosiphon and you don't need a pump. Use a propylene glycol antifreeze so it won't freeze. Use a food-grade propylene glycol that's nontoxic.

Why take tomatoes out? They were still flowering even. The green tomatoes could have ripened on the plant in the green house. What temperature was the green house falling to?

Make a chute that you can store inside the greenhouse, then tilt the top outside so you can tip from your tractor bucket to the chute, then wherever you want it to go.

Given your wood working skills you could make a liner for the bucket for next year that sits inside the bucket and is narrower than the frame and projects forward of the metal bucket. It would make that job a lot easier. Mum used to ripen her green toms with a banana, keep the bulk of them somewhere cool and move what you might use over the coming week or two into a fruit bowl in the kitchen with the banana in it. Keep the fruit bowl topped up from cool store as you use them. She also used to make green tomato chutney which is good, two thirds of her crop would be green so we always had lots of them.

So many tomatoes!!! If you want, you can use green tomatoes to make salsa verde (green sauce) as was shown to us at Living Traditions Homestead. Don't know if you're ever watched their channel but they're pretty great people!

Add diced 3 or 4 diced cooked chicken breasts, I use the peeler to make carrot slivers and I dice them too, usually 2 or 3 carrots will do.

... and how!

Heating that greenhouse is not practical from a homesteading point of view. I don't think people have any idea how much it would cost to heat a greenhouse. Forget the cost of any kind of heating systems being suggested. Unless you are growing high value crops commercially and getting top dollar for then, it's not cost effective to provide any heat. Grow the warm season crops just as you have in the warm months and turn the greenhouse over to cold tolerant greens in the fall. I've grown greens in Maine in a hoop house without heat overwinter below the single layer poly cover and two inner layers or row covering on low hoops inside. That got the hardier greens, including spinach, through the winter. As you've mentioned, pay close attention to timing next year. Unless you are going to the expense of providing heat AND artificial light, vegetables slow their growth as the days shorten and seem to stop when the day lengths get to about 10 hours or less. The goal is to have the crops fully mature by around the start of November. (I forget the exact date for the latitude when I lived in Maine. At the new homestead here in PA , it's about Nov 8th this year.) Your goal is to keep the cold hardy crops alive and harvestable. Using Agribon is key. It provides an extra measure of warmth by trapping some heat from the soil right where the plants need it. Make sure it's suspended just a bit above the plants so it doesn't touch and freeze to the plants. Moisture will condense and freeze to the row covering. Leaves of the plants will also likely freeze so it's important to wait a bit in the morning for the air inside to start to warm and carefully roll back or remove the row coverings. A good resource is Elliot Coleman's book The Winter Harvest Handbook. He grows commercially in Maine (on part of the old Helen and Scott Nearing's homestead.

Your fall color is beautiful. Love seeing the rainbows.

Goooood Mawnin' Al! Rainbows are a great sign of a great day! Enjoy all your chores as the Great Exterior Designer sends you a beautiful day.

Couldn't help but chuckle when you said it's a cold wet rain. Rain normally is wet! Lol. Gina, if you like Salsa Verde, make some out of your green tomatoes. It's really delish and you can control the amount of heat in it by what hot peppers you add to it. Just google Green Tomato Salsa Verde and Ball has a simple recipe. It's really good with chicken and with eggs! Broaden your horizons a bit with your dinners with it. I'm not one that likes the store bought Salsa Verde or Mexican dishes at all but this is quite delish! Your fall leaves are gorgeous right now!

one of my favorite quick and easy meals is 'gado gado', and Indonesian veggie dish with hot peanut sauce dressing and meat/hardboiled eggs. I can have that on the table in seven minutes :) You need: - cauliflower in small bite-size florets - tinned/canned green beans - taugé (beanspouts from the mung bean - I can buy these fresh at the supermarket, but you can sprout them yourself) the veggies must be in roughly equal amounts, say a cup of each per person Boil a pan with water with some salt, cut the cauliflower in very small florets, boil them (lid covered) for five minutes. Add the drained green beans and bean sprouts. When water comes up to boil, boil for additional one, at the most two minutes. The beansprouts should not be raw but not overcooked (the Crunch is Crucial). Drain and dress with the saté sauce. While the veggies are on, start the saté sauce (aka 'peanut sauce). In a (sauce)pan boil a bit of water (half a cup per person) with a couple of tablespoons (per person) salty oy sauce, some garlic(powder) and some kind of hot sauce (I use sambal, a commercial chilipepper blend, but any kind of hotsauce will do - the endresult shoud be that you have just a nice kick of hot while eating the sauce, but it just there to balance things out so don't overdo it. Add to taste, not to impress). Add, per person, three or four tablespoons of peanut butter (I use a 100% peanutbutter but then I don't eat sugar at all, so if you are used to sugar in your food, just go with your own commercial favorite - no need for fancy stuff). Stir this and let this gently come to boil. It will thicken. If too thick, add some (boiling) water. You can add at this stage some leftover chicken or canned chicken/pork and let it heat through. Or, if you don't have meat on hand, you could hard boil some eggs, halve them and add them at the end to the dish. When the veggies are done, drain them, add the sauce, mix and serve forth! There ought to be enough sauce to cover all the veggies but they shouldn't drown in it either. This might sound like a lot of kerfuffle, but really, it's not. The veggies only take seven minutes, it's a great way to use up leftover cauliflower and leftover chicken in your fridge. Just add canned beans and beansprouts. The only fresh ingredients are the cauliflower and beansprouts and I tend to usually have those hanging out in my fridge. And the rest is just cupboard items; tinned/canned grean beans, leftover/canned meat or eggs, soy sauce, peanutbutter, hot sauce, garlic(powder). You can make the sauce in a few minutes. And did I tell you it's delicious?

I don’t know which I like the best....Olivia’s beautiful chickens or watching you light the stove and listening to the crackling!

Al a double rainbow feels like a blessing from God is coming. Just as you said God’s promises are good I was thinking that it feels like a blessing! My first double rainbow happened when my daughter was 3. She wanted a rainbow because she never saw one. I told her only God can make you one. In the sweetest plea I ever heard she asked if He would make her one. A few days later after a rain I saw my first double rainbow. Prayers of children mean so much to him. That event has given her faith thru the years. She is 36 now!

i made homemade fried rice: jasmine white rice then added scrambled eggs, sauted mini peppers, carrots and green onions with a prepackaged seasoning packet with baked chicken thighs. it was wonderful!

Love the Rainbow, always amazed at what God does for us. You could build a moveable shoot to dump your compost into the greenhouse, with the bucket. Pick t up with the tractor and move the next spot.

Last week we canned 28 quarts of sliced green tomatoes. It's nice being able to have fried green tomatoes during winter.

When it gets cold it is going to be tough keeping it warm in there. Get about a dozen 2 Gal hydraulic fluid jugs. The black ones. Clean out with water and a good dish washing soap. Fill them with water, leave a head space then Bury them in the sun on there side about half way deep. On sunny days they will get warm and slowly release heat back into the green house at night. Every little bit helps especially if it's free.

Paper, kindling, (real kindling, not the big stuff you use), and small wood (your kindling). If stacked right one match was all you needed. Once the wood caught flame, larger wood could be added. It took a couple of minutes more than your propane torch but was very satisfying when you did it right. Greenhouse crops look amazing!

Good morning Al, Gina, and Olivia, it's always pleasant to begin my day with you. I love reading the comments too because always lots of helpful hints.

One hint about growing the varieties your planting so that they can have a multi harvest cycle will be to stagger its seeding in starter trays/pots so that the next set can go in after the first have yields. By starting seedlings before the last frost/freeze in you area you'll get a jump on getting more than just one crop out of the Greenhouse in a season by estimating the first/last weeks they can be harvested it just adjusting that period between the those two times. Look into Intermediate Tomato Varieties as well because there less tall and many that aren't Intermediate use more of its energy growing vines than fruit but they can be trimmed to yield more than just branches. Review the video you have of the Greenhouse to see how the Sun traveled across if possible since taller plants can shade others during the day like the Tomatoes might have and planting them on the Northern end instead of down the center or closer to the sides helps as well.

@Lumnah Acres, AL & Gina I just wanted to add that I really enjoy you sharing your life with us. You have a wonderful family & I just love all of you. I'm just an old (65) lady that was born & raised on the Southside of Chicago & never been on a farm but I am a huge animal lover.

We keep our peppers, they come back twice as good the next season, trim them back and leave them, you save time and money on them.

This is the "overwinter" practice, right?

Where do you live? Do you know how cold it gets in that part of NH? I lived just across the border in Maine. Peppers will not survive a winter in an unheated greenhouse.

Tonight's dinner is chicken and dumplings! Made with one of our own chickens.

I saw you in my feed after watching "simple living alaska". They have had some amazing veggie harvests in Alaska and loved watching them harvest and feed their chickens greens and off veggies and fruits. I am so glad I found your channel, havent watched all of it but enjoyed the interaction with your animals and the respect you give them. Amazing what you have accomplished, congratulations to you both!

I just love the floofy head chicken! Too cute. Your greenhouse is an amazing blessing! All the food God has given you for your hard work. Beautiful! And the trees with their lush colors! Gorgeous! We’re so envious of your rain and your wood stove. Time for a cup of cocoa and a window seat.

Don't forget to rotate the crop... so the soil has a chance to rebuild some of the nutrients...

I hit my cleaver with a rubber mallet. It saves my hand and doesn’t damage my cleaver. Love your videos.

Figerooo is being his old crazy self. You can make fried green tomatoes too. The rainbow 🌈 was lovely and l hope everyone has good luck from it. The greenhouse plants are monsters. Hard work on Lumhun Acres! Blessings to everyone!!!!!🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾👾👾👾👾👾👾🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️🦚🦚🦚🦚🦚🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀💔💔💔💔💔💔💔🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄☠☠☠☠☠☠🍭🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🍭🍭🍭🍭🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬😻😻😻😻😻🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

Thank you for highlighting my comment. I hope you can grow all winter long in your green house one day. May pumpkins, squash and beans grow the biggest at your stead. 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃☠☠☠☠🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬😻😻😻😻😻🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋💚💚💚💚💚💚👾👾👾👾👾👾👾🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️🦚🦚🦚🦚🦚🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🧙‍♀️🧙‍♀️🧙‍♀️🧙‍♀️🧙‍♀️🧙‍♀️🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍭🍭
